Frequently asked questions

How is it different from a bug tracker?

Bug trackers, such as GitHub's issue tracker, are very good at tracking problems but not so good at tracking enhancements. Indeed, the number of people noticing a certain bug is only part of the equation: imagine a bug that would randomly destroy the device of 1% of your users. That'd be a pretty terrible bug even if it only happened quite rarely.

Feature requests, on the other hand, are much more vote-driven: a feature is more likely to be relevant if many of your users are craving it.

Why GitHub-connected?

We don't want people to game the system by voting multiple times, so we have to identify voters. Given GitHub is becoming the de facto standard platform for everything code-related, it makes sense to log users in with their GitHub account.
